About Mark

Mark O'Laughlin is an LPC with two decades of clinical experience who aims to support people managing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

He is based in Colorado and brings a strengths-focused stance to work: identifying what is working for a client and building practical skills from that foundation. Mark's practice includes attention to issues such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, along with communication problems and codependency.

His approach is collaborative and flexible, drawing from cognitive behavioral techniques, Jungian perspectives, mindfulness, skills training, and group work experience with substance use concerns. Mark has worked with individuals across the age range and values tailoring methods to each person's needs rather than applying a single model.

Outside of practice he composes music and enjoys outdoor recreation, interests that inform his appreciation for creativity and resilience in therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Mark often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to build practical coping strategies. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients discover their own goals and solutions.

He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when clients need tools for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness; DBT skills training helps people manage intense feelings and improve communication. Choosing the most helpful approach is a collaborative process - the therapist works with each client to align methods with their goals, preferences, and life context rather than relying on a single technique.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and different communication styles. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person sessions are impractical, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on skill-building and practical strategies across varied formats.
